1. a 1980 number one hit for the R&B/funk/post-discogroup Lipps,Inc. (pronounced "lip synch" - yes, that's how U say it). They were basically a one hit wonder.

2. a Top 10 hit in 1987 for the AustralianNew Wave group Pseudo Echo. It has a harder-edged sound than the original seven years before. A genuine butt kicker. Pseudo Echo also scored a hit with their own "Living in a Dream" earlier in 1987.

3. because of their playing the Pseudo Echo hit, San Francisco radio stations gave the nickname "Funky Town" to their city itself.
